Senior Android Engineer - Mobile Professional

Our Mobile Professional group builds the mobile app that provides financial professionals with an indispensable utility that they can use while away from their desks to stay connected, solve problems, and get caught up on things they have missed. Our customers can look at up-to-date market news, explore in-depth market analysis, receive instant notifications on critical market moving events, and stay connected to the Bloomberg community while they are on the move.

Our Mobile teams develop, design, and define the mobile experience for many thousands of people daily. With team members specializing in creating mobile UIs, client software, infrastructure and services working together we look ahead to take advantage of the latest mobile technologies and techniques. All aimed towards making the definitive mobile experience for the financial markets.

We are looking for an experienced Android software engineer to join our growing group of over 70 mobile engineers. With new projects on the horizon, and opportunities for both technical specialists, as well as those looking to progress into team leadership, you'll have an ample chance to make an impact.

We'll trust you to:

• Become part of an established team containing a diverse mix of engineers, as well as dedicated representatives from UX, QA, and Product.
• Be responsible for a highly-diverse technology stack around the Android platform, as well as the app's server-side infrastructure. The role will expose you to a broad set of languages (Kotlin, Java, Python, C++) and tools, and you'll be able to continue to push the boundaries by exploring new technologies as well as improving existing ones.
• Collaborate effectively: you'll work closely with other technology teams to discuss shared concerns and align technical direction, you'll interact heavily with our product and UX colleagues who are based in New York, and you'll coordinate with our release managers as part of our regular app-release process.
• Continue to foster a culture of sustained, high-quality delivery through collaboration and effective teamwork.

You'll need to have:

• Experience developing and designing native Android applications in Kotlin.
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience.
• An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms.
• An honest approach to problem-solving, and ability to collaborate with peers, stakeholders and management.

We'd love to see:

• Expertise in writing modular and (highly) testable code.
• Experience partnering with a diverse set of colleagues.
• A passion for learning new things.
• A passion for teaching other people what you know, and mentoring less experienced team members.
